McDonald's to add fried chicken to its menu

McDonald's is planning to add fried chicken to its menu in the United States. The fast-food chain has been testing the dish in Atlanta and Chicago and it will be added nationwide if it is popular with customers.

Fried chicken is a popular dish in the United States, with KFC being the largest chain. McDonald's first introduced fried chicken to its menu in Australia in the 1990s, but withdrew it a few years later due to poor sales.

The company has been struggling to attract customers recently, with sales falling for six consecutive quarters. It is hoped that the addition of fried chicken will help to boost sales.

McDonald's is not the only fast-food chain looking to expand its menu. Burger King has been expanding its range of burgers and Taco Bell has been introducing new Mexican-inspired dishes.

KFC launches new Fried Chicken Wednesdays promotion

In an attempt to revive flagging sales, KFC is launching a new promotion called Fried Chicken Wednesdays. The promotion will offer customers a two-piece fried chicken meal for $5.

The promotion begins on January 24th and will run until March 21st.

Popeyes launches new ad campaign for its fried chicken

Popeyes, the chicken chain known for its Louisiana-inspired dishes, is kicking off a new ad campaign as it looks to regain market share from rivals like Chick-fil-A and KFC.

The campaign, called "Love that Flavor," will use TV, digital and social media advertising to promote the chain's new Cajun-Style Menu items. The menu features entrees like dirty rice bowls and blackened shrimp wraps, which the company says are aimed at capturing "the flavors of New Orleans."

"As we continue to grow our brand, it's important to show our guests that we're always evolving," said Bruno Cardinali, Popeyes' Chief Marketing Officer. "The Cajun-Style Menu offers unique flavors that set us apart from other chicken chains."

The chain has been struggling in recent years to keep up with stronger competition in the fast food space. In 2016, sales at U.S. stores open at least a year were down 2.1 percent, according to research firm Technomic. And while Popeyes still has a larger market share than either Chick-fil-A or KFC, its share is shrinking.

Chick-fil-A is now the country's No. 2 chicken chain after surpassing KFC last year. And while KFC has been revamping its menu and marketing strategy in recent months, it still lags behind both Chick-fil-A and Popeyes in terms of sales.

In light of these challenges, Popeyes is looking to tap into rising consumer demand for Southern cuisine. The Cajun-Style Menu is part of a larger trend in the restaurant industry towards more regional dishes, as operators look for ways to stand out from the competition.

"There's just so much more flavor diversity now," said Bonnie Riggs, a restaurant industry analyst with market research firm NPD Group. "Operators are really trying to capture those flavors with their menus."

Chick-fil-A to open its first location in Hawaii

After a long wait, Chick-fil-A is finally opening its doors in Hawaii. The chicken chain announced that it will be opening its first location in the state in Kapolei on Wednesday, Dec. 12.

According to Chick-fil-A, the restaurant will be open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily and offer breakfast, lunch and dinner items. It will also have a drive-thru and provide catering services.

The company said it chose Kapolei for its first location in Hawaii because of the community's growing population and its central location on Oahu.

"Chick-fil-A's first restaurant in Hawaii is something we have been looking forward to for a long time," Chick-fil-A Hawaii franchise owner Dave Rushing said in a statement. " Kapolei is an up-and-coming community that aligns well with our focus on high quality ingredients and customer service."

In addition to the Kapolei location, Chick-fil-A said it is also planning to open restaurants in Maui and the Big Island over the next several years.

Hawaii residents have long been asking for Chick-fil-A to come to the islands, with some even starting online petitions calling for the chain to come to their state.

The company made headlines in 2012 when its president Dan Cathy came out against gay marriage, saying he was "guilty as charged" when it came to supporting the traditional family unit. However, Cathy later said he regretted how his comments were received and has since tried to distance himself from politics.
